RATINGS: All three-phase units are rated at 0.8 power factor. All single-phase units are rated at 1.0 power factor. Standby Ratings: Standby ratings apply to installations served by a reliable utility source.
The standby rating is applicable to varying loads for the duration of a power outage. There is no overload capability for this rating. Ratings are in accordance with ISO-3046/1, BS 5514, AS 2789, and
DIN 6271. Prime Power Ratings: Prime power ratings apply to installations where utility power is unavailable or unreliable. At varying load, the number of generator set operating hours is unlimited. A
10% overload capacity is available for one hour in twelve. Ratings are in accordance with ISO-8528/1, overload power in accordance with ISO-3046/1, BS 5514, AS 2789, and DIN 6271. For limited running
time and base load ratings, consult the factory. Obtain the technical information bulletin (TIB-101) on ratings guidelines for the complete ratings definitions. The generator set manufacturer reserves the
right to change the design or specifications without notice and without any obligation or liability whatsoever. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR DERATION: Altitude: Derate 1.3% per 100 m (328 ft.) elevation
above 200 m (656 ft.). Temperature: Derate 3.0% per 10_C (18_F) temperature above 25_C (77_F). For units having a weather housing with roof-mounted silencer or an enclosure with enclosed silencer,
add 5_C (9_F) for 60 Hz and 10_C (18_F) for 50 Hz to the ambient temperature. Dual fuel engines are optimized to run on the primary fuel (natural gas) and, as a result, the LPG ratings may not be attained.
For dual fuel engines, use the natural gas ratings for both the primary and secondary fuels.
